Major Additions - VB image Hosting

VB Image Hosting Version 1.0.1

This is the port for my hack to vb 3.6.x
check it for vb 3.5.x here

A New installer replaced the old one so you should not face any problems with database

NOTE :
People who were using vbimghost in vb 3.5.x and moved to vb 3.6.0 MAKE sure that you have vbimghost 1.4.1 Since this port will only support upgrading from that ver only
People who do a fresh install use this ver.

Requirements:

1. requires GD 2.0.1 or later (2.0.28 or later is recommended).
2. PHP ver 4.3.x or later (newer ver is better).

Hi Adam21,

Thanks for trying to help me out.

The code you've provided is already available as an extra with this Add-on and it works just fine.
However it also shows the text 'My photo: (0)' when a user doesn't got any (public) photos at all!
I know my user and they wil complain and they would be right since this does not add anything at all, if you don't publish the photo's.

So, the issue is:
I want this specific text/code only shown/executed when this variabel ($post[vbimghost]) is actually more then zero!
I'm just having troubles writing a decent <if>-statement with this variable...consider me a semi-noob

Thanks so far...

--edit--
Nevermind: <if condition="$post[vbimghost] > 0 "> did the trick....thanks...

PS: maybe this should be default in the add-on..

I have a black box and you cannot see the information as I imagine the font used for the info is black also.

Same problem here. I searched through the thread and couldn't find a fix.

[Ranma2k]

just change it from the template..

Im still unable to rebuild thumbnails, Checked and double checked installation and settings. I will probably uninstall until theres better support.

Great hack! I just installed it and it's working great so far. I really love the watermark feature.

Just realized I posted a bug fix in the old 3.5.x thread, meant to post it here.

Seems to be a bug with this addon and particular .gif files when you have the 'thumbnail' option set to yes.

One of my users have been trying to upload their signature file but it keeps timing out in PHP. I am using the latest build in GD version 2.0.28. Latest version of VB.

The problem code seems to be:

switch ($imageExt){
                        case (".gif"):
                                        $srcImg = imagecreatefromgif("$imageDirectory/$imageName");
                                        $colortrans = imagecolortransparent($srcImg);
                                        $thumbImg = imagecreate($width, $height);
                                        imagepalettecopy($thumbImg,$srcImg);
                                        imagefill($thumbImg,0,0,$colortrans);
                                        imagecolortransparent($thumbImg,$colortrans);
                                        imagecopyresized($thumbImg,$srcImg,0,0,0,0,$width,$height,$imageWidth,$imageHeight);
                                        imagegif($thumbImg,"$thumbDirectory/$thumbName");

This doesn't happen with all .gifs, just this particular one at the time. Its a 330x120 pixels gif thats 17kb in size.

I've been able to upload smaller and larger gifs though.

The Fix:

I did a search and discovered 2 of the functions you used in the code were older ones meant for the original GD library.

I changed 2 lines to refer to the GD2 libraries and now the .gif thumbnailing is working correctly.
Here's the updated code:

switch ($imageExt){
                        case (".gif"):
                                        $srcImg = imagecreatefromgif("$imageDirectory/$imageName");
                                        $colortrans = imagecolortransparent($srcImg);
                                        $thumbImg = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
                                        imagepalettecopy($thumbImg,$srcImg);
                                        imagefill($thumbImg,0,0,$colortrans);
                                        imagecolortransparent($thumbImg,$colortrans);
                                        imagecopyresampled($thumbImg,$srcImg,0,0,0,0,$width,$height,$imageWidth,$imageHeight);
                                        imagegif($thumbImg,"$thumbDirectory/$thumbName");
                                break;

imagecreatetruecolor, and imagecopyresampled were the two functions I swapped in.

Hope this helps anyone else with this issue.

Can someone tell me how to put the latest uploads (thumbnails) on forumhome?

PM's would be great if possible.

Hi

Thank you for this cool hack.
I have not read the full thread so I don't know if this was reported yet.

I think the add-ons should come with a permission if statement.
If a user is not allowed to upload images and clicks on "quick upload" he only gets the warning text about public images.
I think he should not see the whole quick upload thing at all.

I have tried "<if condition="$canupload">" but it does not work

Does anyone has an idea?
